->Alexios’ Grimoire
->Description: This appears to be a large treasure book box filled with pages of the finest calf vellum with covers of apple and hawthorn wood. The covers themselves are plated with gold which has been worked with patterns of trowels worked in jet and sapphire, doorways made of opals and wizard’s staves made of ivory and sapphire. The corners and lock of the book is bronze and worked in patterns of horseshoes.
->Pages: the book includes 100 pages. Each attunement or power require the completion of at least one page. However, it also has cunning bronze locks that hold additional pages. These can be opened so the pages can be reordered. These pages can in themselves be enchanted items (charged or lesser normally and are not part of the book). Alexios also includes pages that are casting tools for each of his known formulaic spells.
-Enchantments (Opened 24 pawns, used 3)
-* Wizard’s Lectern: The talisman floats in the air where it is left, holding itself open at the same page and constantly maintains itself within touching distance of the wizard wherever he moves. It also holds itself open at the page he left it. (Base 5 + 5 (concentration) + 10 (unlimited) + 5 (maintain concentration) = 25)
-Current Attunements:
-* Magical Transportation: +5 (Doorways)
-* Control Things at a Distance: +4 ( Staves)

->Picture of Flight
->This was Alexios’ gauntlet project and hangs in Georgios’ study. It is a beautifully illuminated wooden panel showing a blazing city. Several of the buildings are recognisably from Constantinople. In illuminated text it has the words for Safety in Flight in Attic Greek.
-The item is triggered by any human who touches the panel and says the words in the illuminated panel. It transports the user up to 1 league from the panel (which cannot be brought along) to either a place that he has an arcane connection to or to a place that he can see.

->Evasive Shout
->ReCo 25
->R: Voice, D: Mom, T: Indiv
->Transports the target instantly to anyplace the magus can see that is within 50 paces of the target’s current location. The wizard makes an Intelligence + Finesse roll (ease factor 9) to choose the exact location and orientation of the target’s arrival.
->This spell can be used offensively to transport the target straight up. If used in this way, the spell can be resisted but does normal falling damage of +1 per two feet of falling (so +25 if used to its maximum potential).
->(Base 15, +2 voice)
-
->Transfer the Essence of Magic
->ReVi 20
->This spell allows the wizard to move vis. It can move 1 or more pawns of vis from any single and individual item to another individual item which touches both the wizard and the original container of the vis. So the spell could transfer some or all of the vis from the corpse of a manticore to a ring owned by the wizard. This spell cannot add the vis to an item that already contains vis.
->In Alexios’ version of the spell, the item containing the vis is marked with greek lettering. stating the type and amount of vis contained (or, if Unknown, it states as much).
->(Base 10, +1 touch, +1 part)

### Description
Small, slight and handsome with a carefully curled, perfumed and oiled beard, melting brown eyes and sparkling white teeth, Alexios always dresses in gold embroidered byzantine robes, generally in lapis blue and gold. In the covenant he is generally followed by a huge floating book bound with precious metals and gems. Even near non magical people, he is loth to relinquish it and tends to demonstrate the philosophical principles behind its levitation to his own satisfaction if not always to his listener's.
* Preferred Formal - Doctor Kaloethes
* Preferred Informal - Alexios
-* Hermetic Formal - Doctor Alexios Ex Miscellanea

+* Hermetic Very Formal - Doctor Alexios ex Jerbiton filius Georgios Ex Miscellanea
### Background
Georgios argued against his desires, he pointed out that many wizards were stupid and intellectually lazy, relying on their powers rather than truly understanding the world around them. Alexios understood that and did not want to join such a community. However, he did want to leave Bologna and become a greater part of the Order so when he heard from a travelling Mercere of the desire of Edward of Jerbiton to recruit new wizards for a covenant in Cambridge, he decided to make the long journey there and left with the reluctant blessings of Georgios.
